Halle Berry made a last-minute change to her plans after the Cannes Film Festival amended its dress code.

The Oscar-winning actress originally planned to wear a Gaurav Gupta-designed dress on the opening night of the world-famous film festival, but Halle had to rethink her plans, after the festival organizers changed the dress code.

Halle, 58, told Variety: "I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train."

The Hollywood star doesn't have any intention of breaking the festival's rules. Halle even admitted to agreeing with some of the amendments.

She said: "I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule."

The festival organizers have confirmed that the changes have been made in order to comply with French law.

The new instruction from the festival reads: "This year, the Cannes Film Festival has made explicit in its charter certain rules that have long been in effect. The aim is not to regulate attire per se, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and French law."

The festival added that it "reserves the right to deny access to individuals whose attire could obstruct the movement of other guests or complicate seating arrangements in the screening rooms".

Meanwhile, Halle previously revealed that she struggled to find fashion and beauty inspirations during her younger years.

The actress recalled struggling "to find images" of women who looked like herself.

She told Marie Claire magazine: "I struggled to find women who reflected me when I was growing up.

"Being a woman of color, I can't say there were many around me. There was, of course, my mother. But she was a blue-eyed blonde. And while I looked up to her - every little girl does her mother - I struggled to find images of women that looked like me.

"So I would have to say probably Dorothy Dandridge, Diahann Carroll and Diana Ross. These were people that felt like me to me, that I could relate to. They were my beauty icons, in my mind."
